    Abandoned Temple: Rehabilitation of Masonic Temple in Winnipeg by Noushin Nayyeri A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Architecture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2016 Noushin Nayyeri ABANDONED TEMPLE REHABILITATION OF MASONIC TEMPLE IN WINNIPEG ABSTRACT The Masonic Temple is a vital Winnipeg building that has been vacant and exposed to deterioration for over a decade. This thesis will explore strategies for rescuing this building and intervening in the heritage site such that the building becomes involved with the city once again. The thesis will explore the cultural value of the Masonic Temple, its history, and its current condition. It will propose ways to preserve the façade as a container whilst opening the interior of the building to host another ‘building’ and program. This proposal will reflect on the symbolism, strict architectural principles, and lasting secrecy of the Free Masons. These ideas will be a tool that shapes the program and will include an inventive series of spaces for various functions related to local art and architecture.
